Sara Melson is an actress, singer, and songwriter from West Lafayette,
Indiana. She attended Harvard University as an honors student with a
degree in English. A theatre actress since childhood, she attended the
prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival and studied theatre under
Robert Brustein at the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge,
appearing in leading roles in numerous Harvard productions. Upon moving
to Los Angeles after graduation, she landed prominent guest stars and
recurring roles on shows such as Beverly Hills 90210, Frasier, The
Wonder Years, Murder She Wrote, Melrose Place, and many others, as well
as parts in Harold Becker's "Malice", George Hickenlooper's "The Low
Life" and "The Big Brass Ring", and teen cult horror flick "Dr.
Giggles" for Universal. She then turned her attention from acting to
songwriting in the early 2000's, playing live shows with a band,
developing material and recording, and ultimately signing to Nettwerk
Records in 2008 to release her debut album "Dirty Mind," which was
featured in high-profile sync placements on Grey's Anatomy, Lipstick
Jungle, and Men In Trees, as well as in a national multi-spot Chevy
campaign. She has since released the independent "A Million White
Stars", which was awarded a feature on the homepage of iTunes and a
national video premiere on Yahoo! Music.
